AFFIDAVIT

I swear or afirm that all the information that I have written on this form or told to a specialist is true. I understand that I can be prosecuted for perjury if I have intentionally given false information. I also know that I may be asked to show proof of any information I have given. I also know that if I have intentionally left out any information or if I have given false information, which causes me to receive assistance I am not entitled to or more assistance than I am entitled to, I can be prosecuted for fraud.

Estate Recovery. I understand that upon my death the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has the legal right to seek recovery from my estate for services paid by Healthcare Coverage. This means that some or all of my estate may be recovered. MDHHS will not seek to recover against the estate while there is a legal surviving spouse or a legal surviving child who is under the age of 21, blind, or disabled. An estate consists of real and personal property. If you have received an asset disregard due to a long-term care partnership policy, Estate Recovery applies to all assets whether they are subject to probate administration or not. Estate recovery only applies to certain Healthcare Coverage recipients who received Healthcare Coverage services after the effective date of the estate recovery statute. MDHHS may agree not to pursue recovery if an undue hardship exists. An application must be submitted to determine if the applicant qualiies for an undue hardship waiver. Undue hardship waivers are temporary. For further information regarding Estate Recovery, call 800-642-3195.

ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFITS

Recovery of Medical Costs. I understand that when the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services

(MDHHS) pays the cost of hospital, surgical, or medical services, any right to recover costs from a third person or public or private contractor, except Medicare, is transferred to the MDHHS. Payment of any recovery under such right is to be made directly to the State of Michigan — MDHHS.

RELEASES

Social Security Information. I will allow the Social Security Administration to give to the MDHHS all information necessary to determine my eligibility for beneits under the Healthcare Coverage program until the second month following the expiration of my eligibility based on the current application.

Eligibility Information. I understand that the information I have provided will be used to determine my eligibility for Healthcare Coverage only and for purposes of administering the Healthcare Coverage program.

AFFIDAVIT

Under penalties of perjury, I swear that this application has been examined by or read to me, and, to the best of my knowledge, the facts are true and complete. If I am a third party applying on behalf of another person, I swear that this application has been examined by or read to the applicant, and, to the best of my knowledge, the facts are true and complete.

I certify, under penalty of perjury, that all information that I have written on this form or told to a specialist is true. I understand that I can be prosecuted for perjury if I have intentionally given false information. I also know that I may be asked to show proof of any information I have given. I also know that if I have intentionally left out any information or if I have given false information, which causes me to receive assistance I am not entitled to or more assistance that I am entitled to, I can be prosecuted for fraud. I understand I must report changes in income, assets or health insurance coverage to the department within 10 days of the change.

If you have any questions, contact your specialist or the local MDHHS before signing the application.

I understand that upon my death the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has the legal right to seek recovery from my estate for services paid by Healthcare Coverage. This means that some of all of my estate may be recovered. MDHHS will not seek to recover against the estate while there is a legal surviving spouse or a legal surviving child who is under the age of 21, blind, or disabled. An estate consists of real and personal property. If you have received an asset disregard due to a long-term care partnership policy, Estate Recovery applies to all assets whether they are subject to probate administration or not. Estate recovery only applies to certain Healthcare Coverage recipients who received Healthcare Coverage services after the effective date of the estate recovery statute. MDHHS may agree not to pursue recovery if an undue hardship exists. An application must be submitted to determine if the applicant qualiies for an undue hardship waiver.

INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTHCARE COVERAGE

Rules may have changed since this was printed. Check with your local MDHHS ofice.

“You” and “Your” below refer to the patient. “We” means the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

If you need help with past, unpaid medical expenses, Healthcare Coverage may begin three months before you apply. You can have Healthcare Coverage even if you are not a U.S. citizen. Coverage might be limited to just emergency services. There are limits on the amount of income and assets you can have and be eligible for Healthcare Coverage.

Receiving Healthcare Coverage Services

You must tell all your providers (doctors, hospital, pharmacy, etc.) that you have applied for Healthcare Coverage before you receive any new medical services. Not all providers accept Healthcare Coverage. Choose a provider who does accept Healthcare Coverage.

You must give your medical provider a copy of your mihealth card or approval letter as soon as it is received. This letter tells when your eligibility began. Your providers need this information to receive prompt payment for medical services provided to you. This information is needed to issue you a refund if you pay for a Healthcare Coverage service before you received the approval letter.

We might approve Healthcare Coverage for up to 3 months before you applied. If we do, ask your providers to bill Healthcare Coverage for any covered services you received during those months. If you paid for any of these bills before you received the approval letter, ask your health providers if they will refund your money and bill Healthcare Coverage. Providers are not required to do this, but many will.

Your providers must submit your bills to Healthcare Coverage within 12 months after the date you received the services. If they wait more than 12 months, then Healthcare Coverage may not pay the bill unless the delay in billing is because you had to ile an appeal to get Healthcare Coverage beneits.

Income

You meet the income test if your income is not enough to pay your medical expenses. Usually you will pay part of your nursing facility expenses and Healthcare Coverage will pay the rest. If you have a spouse or children at home, a portion of your income might be protected for them.

We count income such as Social Security beneits, pensions, rent income and veterans beneits. Assets

Countable assets must be at or below the $2,000 asset limit at least part of each month for which Healthcare Coverage is requested. If you have a spouse at home:

We count your assets and your spouse’s assets initially. We protect a substantial amount of assets for your spouse. The remainder cannot exceed $2,000 for you to be eligible for Healthcare Coverage.

Once initial eligibility is established, we only count your assets. The asset limit is $2,000.

If your assets are more than the asset limit, you may become eligible for Healthcare Coverage if you use your excess assets to pay some of your medical bills, living expenses, or other debts. You may be asked to verify when and for what purposes you used your excess assets.

Healthcare Coverage might not pay for your care if you or your spouse transfer assets or income for less than fair market value. We look at transfers that occur up to 60 months (5 years) before, or any time after, your irst date of application for Healthcare Coverage while in a nursing facility.
